Opening Snide Remarks: Gargoyle's Quest was one of the earliest Gameboy 
games, it looked great at the time but how does it stack up today.

Gameplay: The gameplay in this game is rather strange.  This game is a mix 
between an action-platformer and a RPG, which leads to a crappy combination.
The RPG side is okay, but the platform side is only decent.  The Gargoyle
in the game can breathe fire, jump, and hover.     

Graphics: The graphics in this game are great.  The gargoyle is large and 
well-detailed and the enemies look just as good.  The backgrounds are very
nicely done.  

Sound: The sound effects in this game are decent, standard videogame fare. 

Music: The music in this game is pretty good, but it sounds like the usual
videogame music.

Play Control: This is what kills this game in my opinion.  The controls 
are sluggish and don't respond well.  The worst control of a Game Boy game
that I have ever played.

Final Analysis: You will be very irritated after playing this game.  The 
control sucks, the premise sucks, overall this game sucks period.
